Lola Plants a Garden (Lola Reads)

My kids love this book it’s on repeat in my class the children can relate and started telling me the story with their own wants in gardening. So cute. Recommend any day.

This book is absolutely precious! The illustrations are beautiful. The downside is that I was hoping for a book about the process of gardening - digging, planting, watering, etc. This book is about a child wanting to grow a garden, decorating it to make it special, and enjoying it with her friends. The process is literally just “Lola and Mommy make the garden,” and then the sprouts come up. It’s still sweet and wonderful but not precisely what I was looking for. My 2.5yo son loves it though!

I bought my now 2 year old boys Leo Can Swim when we were starting swim class last summer and it was very accurate to what they would be experiencing. When we decided to start a garden this spring I wanted to get another book they could relate to. I was so happy when this book appeared in my search. I love that it shows how Lola and her mom interact and work together on the projects and the steps it takes to grow a garden. The boys loved Leo and now they love Lola.

I'm obsessed! I will be buying more from the collection. The illustrations are so cute. Simple and short, but longer than I expected - perfect for my toddler who just turned 2. I purchased the hardcover because paperbacks will never survive my child LOL. Why do the Spanish versions of the hardcovers have to cost so much more? 😭

I really enjoyed reading this book with my granddaughters. It’s not about how to grow a garden but more about relationships and sharing.

I recently introduced my Granddaughter to gardening. This book is a must buy. The illustrations are beautiful and my granddaughter loves seeing a little girl garden like her. Great addition to your toddlers bookshelf.

This book is a good read for girls. It gives brown girls a chance to see a person that looks like them. Thank you!

LOVE this Lola book!! Great to use with my prek gardening unit…or friendship theme!

These books are wonderful. As a parent and an educator the Lola and Leo stories are some of our favourites!

It is a beautiful book I bought for a little girl named Lola. she was so happy to have a book as she also love gardening.

Another fabulous Lola story!!

Such a beautiful book to help kids develop interest in gardening.

Absolutely love this book! We were struggling to find a diverse range of books to support our topic on 'Growing' in the early years. This proved to be a wonderful addition. I especially love how Lola is inspired to plant a garden from her love of poems. It is a very sweet book with beautiful illustrations. Would highly recommend.
